In Genesis, the book provides an explanation about the creation of the world. The Bible talks about how everything on Earth was created, from the fish in the sea to the creation of man. This historical event demonstrates an extreme impact of the work. One reason might be, for years, scholars have argued about the significance of the Bible and God. Many individuals believe that since Adam and Eve were God’s only witnesses, how could someone else write that part of the Bilbe besides them? People…

Greeks in that humans were made in the image of their gods and in both Greek and Mayan religions the gods were led to the materials that they used to create humans by animals. In Greece, it was Prometheus; who saw pigs playing in mud that led to the creation of humans, and for the Mayans it was a fox, coyote, parakeet, and a raven that led the gods to discover yellow and white ears of corn near other delicacies like chocolate. Water that was found beside the mud was then used to create humans…

yang, became fire, that became the sun. While the yin produced cold, that turned to water then into the moon. The stars were next and they were created from excess of the sun and moon, also from this excess the earth grew water and soil. The final creation, that which was born out of nothing, man. Though there was a beginning, there was no being that started it, nor how long it…

evolution until middle school. I had been introduced to the creation story from the bible in school, but with it came various Native American creation stories and so Adam and Eve were shelved in my own mind with Cinderella, Zeus, and King Arthur. It wasn’t until the eighth grade, probably, that I gave creationism as a theory any kind of genuine thought. I happened to overhear that another student had taken on the evolution vs. creation debate for an English paper. “To each their own,” I thought,…

The topic I chose to discuss in this essay is the Original Creation of the Earth. In this essay, I will discuss, compare and contrast the viewpoints of the Nebular Hypothesis vs. the six-day creation from the Old-Earth Secular View and Young-Earth Secular View. The Young Earth creationist believes that the Earth was created in the six-day creation and the old earth creationist believes that the Earth was created billions of years ago during the time of evolution of the Solar System. It’s really…

Native American Mythology The Natives did not have the same creation stories. Although they were similar, the natives had creation stories about humans, and animals being created, or just simply why things turned out to be what they are today. There are many native mythologies that have been told on from generations to generations, three of these out of many are The Earth on the Turtles Back, The Navajo Origin Legend, and When Grizzlies Walked Upright. Three of these stories all share the same…

parallels of the creation stories of the Hawaiian’s and that of Hinduism is too evident to not compare. While the stories have many variances, the context and effect in their particular region is almost identical. Both stories tell of a time where emptiness and unknowns were the norm, however the stories of Kumulipo and Purushasukta parallel in the creation of the world as we know it through a specific event whether it be the sacrifice of the ultimate being or a night of creation. The…

the ideals, the wonder at creation is driven by curiosity; stories of creation exist in every culture you find, and even though each story varies greatly in characters and settings, they all revolve around an indescribable reason for their similarities. Creation stories hold within a veiled connection, and my belief is that they offer a strongly-willed understanding of the culture that they originate from; even in modern day religion, parallels can be made with other creation stories,…

honor to the Creator or we can act in accordance to our own selfishness seeking instead to place our lives above Him. Once Adam and Eve made the significant decision to defy God by eating from the tree of knowledge of good and evil His once perfect creation was tainted. This one sinful act of disobedience marked the first entrance of psychopathology into the world. And like any disease it spread like a windblown wildfire out of control which God has continuously attempted to extinguish. Since…
